Full Titanium Cat-Back That Gives the Mercedes-AMG E63 S a 46% Weight Cut and Real Dyno-Proven Power
The Akrapovic MTP-ME/T/5H Evolution Line cat-back system is purpose-engineered for the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S 4Matic and 2019 to 2020 E63 AMG S 4Matic+ (W213/S213 chassis), replacing the entire cat-back section in ultralight titanium alloy. Dyno testing on the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 confirms gains of +15.1 kW and +54.4 Nm at 2,550 rpm, delivered across a wide powerband where the AMG platform performs daily driving. The MTP-ME/T/5H system weighs 15.5 kg total, shedding 13.6 kg versus the 29.1 kg OEM assembly for a 46.8% weight reduction. Sound character retains the AMG signature tone at low throttle while opening into a full-bodied, race-grade roar under hard acceleration. Note: this system is not compatible with vehicles equipped with an OPF or GPF particulate filter. Exhaust tips are sold separately and required to complete the installation. Note: the complete Evolution Line system requires both part MTP-ME/T/5H and part E-ME/T/5.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Akrapovic MTP-ME/T/5H fit both the E63 AMG S 4Matic and 4Matic+?Yes. The MTP-ME/T/5H is confirmed for the 2018 E63 AMG S 4Matic (W213) and the 2019 to 2020 E63 AMG S 4Matic+ (W213/S213). Both generations use the M177 4.0L twin-turbo V8 and share the same W213 platform rear exhaust configuration.
Does this system require a companion part?Yes. The complete Akrapovic Evolution Line system for the W213 E63 AMG S is split across two part numbers due to packaging requirements. You must order both MTP-ME/T/5H and E-ME/T/5 to receive the full cat-back system. Exhaust tips are an additional separate purchase.
How much power does the MTP-ME/T/5H add to the E63 AMG S?Akrapovic's certified dyno results on the W213 E63 AMG S show a maximum gain of +15.1 kW and +54.4 Nm at 2,550 rpm. These gains appear early in the powerband, improving real-world acceleration rather than only peak power at the rev limiter.
What is the weight saving over the OEM exhaust?The OEM Mercedes-AMG cat-back assembly weighs 29.1 kg. The Akrapovic MTP-ME/T/5H system weighs 15.5 kg, for a total weight reduction of 13.6 kg, or 46.8% lighter than stock. This improves rear mass balance and reduces unsprung load.
Is this system compatible with OPF or GPF-equipped E63 AMG S vehicles?No. Akrapovic specifically states the MTP-ME/T/5H Evolution Line is not suitable for E63 AMG S vehicles equipped with an Otto Particle Filter (OPF) or Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF). Confirm with your service documentation that your vehicle does not have a particulate filter before ordering.
What tips are required for the MTP-ME/T/5H?Exhaust tips are sold separately and are required to complete the installation. Carbon fiber tips are the most popular pairing with the Evolution Line on the W213 E63 AMG S. Contact Black Ops Auto Works for the correct tip fitment options for your vehicle.
What sound profile does the E63 AMG S produce with the Akrapovic Evolution Line?The system retains the AMG exhaust valve system, producing a controlled, deep note at low throttle that will not produce highway drone. Under hard acceleration with valves open, the 4.0L twin-turbo delivers an aggressive, full-bodied exhaust note that is significantly louder and more character-driven than the OEM system.
What is the warranty on the Akrapovic MTP-ME/T/5H?Akrapovic covers this system with a 5-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty registration must be completed online through the Akrapovic website at the time of installation.
